While restoring a number of the Tidewater Mopar Club's giveaway cars over the years, I looked in detail into some universal harnesses. Those I looked at was more-or-less meant for GM's and GM-type components - adapting them to work with stock Mopar components (like the 3sp wipers, stock instrument cluster, etc.) was clearly far, far more work than just repairing the stock harness in every case. Unless you plan to put a GM column, switches, wipers, etc. into your Mopar I'd avoid the universal kits.
Mopars shared many connectors over the years between years and models. I removed the whole stock harness, laid it out, and very carefully repaired and tested it following the factory service manual, documenting any changes I need to make. A big collection of salvaged Mopar donor harnesses proved invaluable. I got replacement pins from NAPA, but took the plastic housings from the donors.
Generally, among nonstandard connections, only the bulkhead, headlight switch, defroster fan, and alternator output connectors were often damaged.
I'd estimate that 1/2 the damage was due to previous misguided repair and modification efforts. A lot of people think they know more than they do, especially when it comes to wiring. I would consider getting an underhood reproduction if there's extensive damage there; they're not expensive.
Repairing and testing the whole harness usually took me most of 2 weekends. If you have someone do it for you, be sure they do everything as good as or better than factory; any quick & dirty short cuts will come back to haunt you.
